Controls

One day, Ckosmick shared some "Forbidden Knowledge" with us on the Community Discord Server.

Noclipping

  • L + B + Start = Enable Noclip
  • Select = Disable Scrolling during Noclip
  • B = Cancel Noclip

Pausing

  • Start = Pauses the game with the Debug Menu accessible.
  • Start + Select = Pauses the game and replaces the Debug Menu with the status screen
  • Select + L in a pause screen = Icons appear in the top right corner of the screen
    • Samus Icon = current room #
    • ➡️= X coordinate (0 = left)
    • ⬇️= Y coordinate (0 = top)



Debug Menu Screen

  • Reading the top row of the Debug screen:
    • AREA: 3 letter acronym of the area you are in. For the test areas, it is TN1/2/3
    • HEYA: Number of the "Room" you are currently in. (HEYA = "Room" in Japanese)
    • GATE: Door

Pressing SELECT while in the debug screen opens an event list. events can be toggled with A

at main DEBUG CONFIG screen, under SECTION, hitting select over any of the areas or TEST 1/2/3 will open a map screen of that area with an indicator of where you will spawn, and a small window with h/g coordinates. H = Heya = room # G = Gate = door # you spawn by the door

at main DEBUG CONFIG screen, under etc, turning off ゲート コウカ makes every room transition instant
